The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Internet connection sporadically dies but not LAN connectivity

Asked by rdoving in Network Routers, Network Switches & Hubs

Tags: wan lan d-link wireless router networking network

I have a small office network with 6 workstations and a CNC machine.  I have a Speedstream 5100 ADSL modem connected to a D-Link DI-524 wireless router with 4 wired ports.  I have 3 computers and the CNC machine connected to the wired ports, and the other 3 computers are connected via wireless.

Occasionally all computers lose their connection to the internet at the same time.  I can still ping each computer from within the network, and I can ping the router, but I can't access any websites.  If I repair the wired connection through Windows XP's Network Connections manager I can then access the internet, until it dies again.  The wireless computers do not respond to the connection repair like the wired computers do.

Any idea what is causing this problem?  I know my networking hardware is probably undersized for the job, and I'd like to upgrade to a budget solution that would allow me to wire each computer to the network (maybe 16 ports?).  I'd appreciate any help.
